The Ontario government is setting aside $91 million to put towards installing electric vehicle chargers at highway rest stops, carpool parking lots, parks as well as arenas.
The province has also introduced a Rural Connectivity Fund which allows municipalities to apply for funding to install electric vehicle chargers in the community.
Premier Doug Ford has been pitching to have Ontario produce electric vehicles with his auto strategy to have at least 400,000 electric vehicles and hybrids in the province by 2030 and establish a battery production facility.
